Not worth the money

Can only get 125 watts out of these panels with perfect alignment with the August sun. The output is not worth the price. I like the size and weight but other panels are so much butter.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Good panels, but they need two things to be great!

The Nomad 200 panels are great, I love how thin they fold to, and the charging is good. Of course like with every solar panel getting the full advertised output requires perfect conditions, but I was getting between 130watts and 170watts while charging. In my book this is a win. There is however two thinks keeping these from being great! The first is a more secure buckle to keep these folded up and the second thing is a nice carrying handle. This would
make it nice to carry the panels out to your sunny spot. All in all I like the Nomad 200 solar panels, but would love to see a carrying handle added!

Failed after 15 months

The solar panel failed after 15 months normal usage.
And worst: the warranty claim was rejected for incomprehensible reasons.

Practical product, poor performance

Practical weight and size with the folding system. But it produces barely 115W under laboratory like perfect bright sky summer sun conditions in Southern California. Combined with the Yeti 1000 it is too weak to avoid the generator to run empty.

I bought 2 Nomad 200 panels and the cable to chain them together. Put them in bright sunlight for about 5-6 hours. Per Goal Zero’s information, this should’ve been enough time to fully charge my power station. But over 5-6 hours, my battery only increased 7%. Basically, I don’t have the ability to recharge my power station from the sun. If power goes down, I’ve got what’s in there, and that’s it. Won’t buy anything else from Goal Zero.

I guess nomad 200 sounds better than nomad 120-170 depending on circumstances. Rather long title. However a full 200 is quite elusive. More than enough for my yeti 300, and more though. Does work on cloudy days some.. 25 -30 watts. Check you're connection for an extension you may have to also order. Fairly heavy so be sure not to let it fold backwards, or the taped connections under the canvas will disconnect. Always level. Clean with drip dry microfiber, and never never fold up wet or damp, because the laminate will peel. Less is better when handling that cable, remembering that copper core that can only take so much bending. Gently in and out.

It seems generally OK, but it has no handle or carrying case. The bigger issue is that it doesn’t have any foot pads for protection. It’s going to be set up on asphalt, concrete or dirt and the outer surface is made of cloth material that I can’t imagine will hold up.

I’m impressed with how HD this panel is. It also charged my Yeti 500X faster than I thought it would. I’d buy again.
